Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda
The title was highlighted across several episodes as a critique of the left’s use of fear to manipulate public opinion, citing examples such as COVID‑19 restrictions, political correctness, cancel culture, and climate alarmism. Hosts like Clay Travis, Tudor Dixon and Lisa Boothe, along with the author, presented it as a guide to recognize and break free from this weaponized anxiety. They emphasized the book’s aim to empower listeners to reclaim personal values and resist intimidation tactics.
The book discusses the weaponization of fear by the left to control and manipulate people. The author emphasizes the importance of breaking free from fear and reclaiming one's values and beliefs.
And that's in large part what my book's about. And it's been three years I've been working on this book. You know, I mentioned it to you years ago.
And because this is an enduring issue, which is the issue of fear and its impact on us. Mostly is how it's weaponized against us, training us in a way to retreat, to not look up, to be afraid to engage.
And it's been a year's long effort.
But again, an enduring dynamic where it's an ancient technique that is being still applied to us, which is the use of fear, threats and intimidation to quell the population so that you don't feel safe going to a rally or speaking about issues or going to a school board meeting.
But it's about clicking in with your conscious, disciplined mind. And not being manipulated. And knowing that our actions matter.
And that's what I want the book to do is to to literally, you know, snap us out of it to break the spell.
Fear Itself, Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda out on July 23rd.
Tammy Bruce's new book, Fear Itself, exposes the left's agenda of instilling fear in the population through political correctness, identity politics, cancel culture, and climate change, ultimately seeking to control and manipulate individuals.
Tammy Bruce's new book, Fear Itself, exposing the left's mind-killing agenda.
So Tammy, Fear Itself, exposing the left's mind-killing agenda. That is Tammy's new book out today.
I've read the first few pages. I have a sense of where it's going. I feel like you're going to tell me that when the left says that the future is basically up in flames because of climate change. 12 years. There's an agenda.
Yeah. You know, this is, first of all, we all know COVID is the best, most immediate example of what the establishment's capable of and what they had planned for us. But this is a book that, you know, we've all known something's not right. We've known it for a very long time pre-COVID. It starts with political correctness, where you have to not maybe say certain words.
And then we get into the cancel culture and you're going to get fired if you don't use the right pronouns. And the world's going to end in 12 years if you don't stop breathing and using straws. It's insane. But there is a method to this madness and my message to everyone, but you know, their message is all of you are a problem. Do nothing because you're destroying the planet and humanity as we know it. Leave it to us, your betters, and we'll take care of it and we'll make sure that, and we won't have to hurt you or punish you if you just do what we say.
The book examines the left's manipulation of fear as a tool for control, discussing its impact on personal relationships, mental health, and the importance of making decisions based on one's own values. It highlights examples like COVID-19, political correctness, and identity politics.
She is a Fox News contributor and the author of the book Fear Itself, exposing the left's mind killing agenda.
The book in particular, I was really a cart pusher on the left. I was the president of the National Organization for Women in Los Angeles. And, you know, it's because the issues matter to me. I wanted to make a difference on things like violence against women, domestic violence in general, the economy.
And a big revelation for me was when my feminist mentor, who has since passed away, and I approached her and said, look, it seems like sometimes you're making things worse on a particular issue, etc.
But one of the themes that I saw and not even really understood at the time, but now I do, I think most of us do, is the use of fear and threats and intimidation to control the population at large.
You know, with everything going on, it's not just politics. It's also about personal relationships, et cetera, is the construct of weaponized fear.
Tammy Bruce's book, 'Fear Itself', was released on the show's air date and discussed as a critique of the left's methods, particularly their use of fear and anxiety to control people, and the methods used to combat this.
Fear Itself exposing the left's mind killing agenda.
It starts with political correctness where you have to not maybe say certain words.
It's insane. But there is a method to this madness and my message to everyone, you know, their message is all of you are a problem. Do nothing because you're destroying the planet and humanity as we know it.
The fact is all of that fear, that chronic fear, the mass anxiety is artificial. None of it is natural. It is not organic.
I want this book to do that for people. It shows the history, it's an ancient technique, the examples, global warming, the riots of 2020, Antifa, the media's complicity in this, education, the nature of Marxism and the fact that, yes, people aren't going insane, you can defeat it by the personal action of recognizing it and I have a series of packs for people to make with themselves.
Tammy Bruce's book, "Fear Itself", was discussed in detail, focusing on the left's agenda of using fear and anxiety to control people. It was described as exposing the left's mind-killing agenda.
Fear Itself exposing the left's mind-killing agenda. That is Tammy's new book out today.
It starts with political correctness where you have to not maybe say certain words. And then we get into identity politics where it's about what color people are or their gender or sexual preference or whatever that you have to think about.
Suddenly we're being divided up into, you know, God help us into balkanized little groups which you know are easier to hate on. And then we get into the cancel culture and you're going to get fired if you don't use the right pronouns and the world's going to end in 12 years if you don't stop breathing and using straws.

It was mentioned as the most read American novel of the 20th century, used as an example of a time when justice was not rendered fairly due to the identity of the accused, in contrast to modern times.
I would wager To Kill a Mockingbird. Certainly, I would bet the most read just about book of the American 20th century work of fiction.

It was mentioned as the most read American novel of the 20th century, used as an example of a time when justice was not rendered fairly due to the identity of the accused, in contrast to modern times.
I would wager To Kill a Mockingbird. Certainly, I would bet the most read just about book of the American 20th century work of fiction.
Atticus Finch is the heroic lawyer, and I believe Maycomb, Alabama, if I'm remembering the specifics, scout his daughter coming of age, Jim, her brother. He is defending Tom Robinson, who is a black man accused of sexually assaulting, raping a white woman.
And some of you, by the way, probably cheated and wanted to watch the Gregory Peck movie because you should have read the book, but you watched the movie instead.
So you're seeing this in the context of the movie as opposed to the book. I'm on to you. You can come clean now, go back and read the book now.
It was referenced in the context of a common narrative where a white woman is portrayed as a liar and a Black man as the victim, which has been a prevalent storyline in American culture.
But the idea is white woman is the liar. Black man is the victim.
The mayor of Chicago was criticized for wearing a mask while reading this book in a Texas bookstore, while simultaneously being absent during a weekend of violence in her city.
She for some reason was in Texas when all of this was happening in Chicago, Buck, posting herself wearing a mask in a Texas bookstore, reading To Kill a Mockingbird, arguing that she was not going to be banned by what she could read.
When the reality is most of the places trying to ban To Kill a Mockingbird are left wing lunatic cities and school boards.

A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder
It was discussed as another book featuring a survival story where, due to extreme circumstances, the characters were forced to kill a dog.
And I just finished a book called The Wager where they got stuck on an island.
— Episode: Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Apr 29...
It was discussed as another book featuring a survival story where, due to extreme circumstances, the characters were forced to kill a dog.
And I just finished a book called The Wager where they got stuck on an island.
I just read that separately.
Well, they have a... there's a spoiler alert and a dog story in there too as they are struggling to be able to survive.
Things are so bad that they kill a dog.
It was mentioned as another book that the host had recently read, involving a survival story where the characters were forced to make difficult decisions regarding a dog.
And when you read that it is a day and I just finished a book called The Wager where they got stuck on an island.
It was described as a very good read and focused on the topic of scurvy, which was discussed in the context of historical exploration.
I just ripped through that book The Wager, which a lot of people are reading. It's huge on Amazon. Really good read and it goes into the whole skirt.
It was described as a captivating read about a British squadron's secret mission in 1740 to capture a Spanish treasure galleon and the ensuing shipwreck and mutiny, which was said to not go well for them.
I am about halfway through The Wager, which is about a British squadron sent on a secret mission by the Admiralty to take a Spanish treasure galleon in 1740 and they try to go around the southern tip of South America.
Spoiler alert doesn't go well for them, but it's about shipwreck mutiny.
It's really interesting so far. So The Wager has been a really good read, really enjoying that one.
Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost its Mind
Riley Gaines, host of Outkick's Gaines for Girls podcast and author of Swimming Against the Current, spoke about her experiences fighting battles on college campuses and witnessing the effects of progressive policies.
There's lots of progress being made, lots of impact being had.
— Episode: Hour 1 - What Will George Do?
Riley Gaines, host of Outkick's Gaines for Girls podcast and author of Swimming Against the Current, spoke about her experiences fighting battles on college campuses and witnessing the effects of progressive policies.
There's lots of progress being made, lots of impact being had.
There's no doubt about that. To address your point specifically about younger voters here, being a recent college graduate myself, speaking on I think last semester I spoke on 25 different college campuses, campuses ranging from smaller private Christian schools like Truett McConnell or College of the Ozarks and of course everything in between until like Cal Berkeley, Princeton, Harvard.
But I will say to that point, I think there's a lot more people like me than the media lets on, people who are saying, I mean, that's really what it boils down to. It's kind of this battle of crazy versus normal. There are a lot more normal, level-headed, reasonable people out there than what we think. But in terms of impact as a whole, what we are seeing across this nation, look, 26 states are now suing the Biden administration for their illegal administrative rewrite of Title IX. I don't think we would have seen that two years ago. Now we've seen over 10 states have some sort of preliminary injunction introduced so they do not have to comply to this rewrite, this new proposal when it takes effect on August 1st. 24 states have some sort of fairness in women's sports bill. Again, I don't think we would have seen that two years ago.
Even the way people are talking about these issues, I think we've reached a point where people are willing to say, look, that's a man. Like, look, that's a naked man at the parable of the emperor wears no clothes could not be more true than it is at this blip in time in America.
And when you talk about credibility, I do think that's a big part of it. And with a lot of younger adults, too, to where authenticity matters. How do you see that playing? Because obviously, you know, the Biden administration, I think, lacks often test authenticity in so many different respects. But in terms of policy, seeing through that, are they now taking a look at Trump and maybe realizing what they've been missing?
It was described as a book about fighting for common sense in a world that has lost its mind. Riley Gaines, the author, spoke about the need for equal opportunities for both sexes, particularly in athletics, and how the Biden administration has rewritten Title IX to equate sex with gender identity, which could have negative consequences for women in sports and other areas.
She's got a new book out Swimming Against the Current fighting for common sense in a world that has lost its mind.
It comes out today Swimming Against the Current because she's a great swimmer.
But what they have done, they have taken this 37 word, only 37 words in its original implementation in 1972, with one word being activity, which I think allowed Title Nine to be what it was most notable for in giving equal opportunities in sports.
But really what this does is it equates, in a nutshell, it equates sex to gender identity.
This now means that men would have full access to bathrooms, locker rooms, changing spaces.
Riley Gaines's new book, released on the day of the podcast, was discussed in detail. She was interviewed about its content, which centered on her views on the issue of transgender athletes in women's sports.
Riley gains, she's got a new book out Swimming Against the Current fighting for common sense in a world that has lost its mind. It comes out today Swimming Against the Current because she's a great swimmer so that all makes sense and she's also at outkick which clay founded uh and riley thanks for being here with us
It's insane is what it is, but you asked me where the issue stands while we keep seeing these negative stories, I really and truly do believe that the tide is turning. I believe every day people are waking up speaking to the to the story in Oregon uh we saw for really the first time again it's the same story a mediocre man becomes a record smasher on the women's side He won the state championship in the women's 200 meter dash He stands atop the podium and the crowd booed that would not have happened two years ago
It's not even what they're trying to do clay it's what they have done the biden administration has rewritten they rewrote title nine of course title nine was the federal civil rights law that once prevented sex-based discrimination on educational programs that receive federal funding colleges ymcas things like that high schools even but what they have done they have taken this 37 word only 37 words in its original implementation in 1972 with one word being activity which I think allowed title nine to be what it was most notable for in giving equal opportunities in sports of course a lot broader than that but what it's most notable for they took this 37 word piece of legislation and rewrote it to a almost half a million word proposal 1577 pages long again from 37 words
Riley gains everybody the book Swimming Against the Current fighting for common sense in a world that's lost its mind out today get your copy Riley gains thank you for doing what you do appreciate it I appreciate you guys so thank you thank you very much
It was discussed that the book's release coincided with the author's appearances on college campuses, which often caused controversy due to her views on men competing in women's sports.

The Art of the Deal
This book was casually mentioned across several episodes, serving primarily as a reference point for Donald Trump's successful pre-political brand. Guests noted that the book marked his transition from the business world into broader popular culture, with guest Erin Elmore stating it was her only knowledge of Trump before working with him on The Apprentice. The book was also cited in promotional material featuring a forward by Donald Trump Jr.
It was mentioned that Donald Trump has had another life outside of politics, and he'll likely return to a big family and lots of money if he loses the election.
Donald Trump, let's just say Donald Trump loses this election, Clay, this fall. He goes back to having a big family, lots of healthy, happy kids. The grandkids got billion dollars. I know he's got the legal stuff, but he'll beat all that, too. He has another life. He had another life before politics.
It was mentioned that Trump had released this book while making a name for himself outside of the business world and into popular culture. It was mentioned in relation to the NWA biopic.
So as well, he was he was starting to make noise moving out of the business world into the broader into the broader pop culture world.

The Catcher in the Rye was frequently mentioned by hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton as the definitive example of a high school required reading assignment that students traditionally bypassed. They discussed how the book became synonymous with using study guides like Cliff's Notes, joking about the desire to be "fully enriched... without actually reading it." Additionally, a podcast guest recalled the book inspiring him to value personal stories over formal book reports during his childhood reading experience.
It was mentioned as a book he read as a child in Michigan, and inspired him to want to hear the other stories, not just the book reports.
I remembered when I was a kid in school in Michigan reading The Catcher and the Rye and I'll hold in Caulfield.
And the book said, you know, these kids would get up and talk about their book reports and they go into these stories about their uncle. And it was more interesting than the book and the teacher would say, no, no, no, stay on topic.
And I always wanted to hear the other story.
It was used as an example of a book that students might have used Cliff's Notes for, instead of reading the book itself.
I want to be fully enriched in this reading of Catcher in the Rye without actually reading it right?
It was mentioned in the context of Cliff Notes and Spark Notes as a study tool, and how students would use them instead of actually reading the book. Clay said he remembered that the books even had a warning on them about not using them instead of reading the book.
I remember that it was a study tool when they would sell that in bookstores, the Cliff Notes study tool.
I want to be fully enriched in this reading of Catcher in the Rye without actually reading it.
It was mentioned as an example of a book that students might have used Cliff Notes or Spark Notes for, rather than actually reading it.

The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward
The podcast extensively critiqued Kristi Noem’s book, No Going Back, focusing immediately on the political damage it caused her national career. Hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton highlighted the intense backlash she faced after revealing she shot her 14-month-old dog, Cricket, and noted the subsequent controversy over false claims she made about meeting Kim Jong-un. The consensus among the hosts was that the book constituted an "own goal," damaging her credibility with the right and potentially killing her chances of being a VP nominee. The discussion centered entirely on the book’s political fallout rather than its policy proposals.
It was discussed in the context of Kristi Noem's political career, focusing on the controversy surrounding a passage where she described shooting her own dog and the subsequent negative media attention.
She talked about shooting a dog, her dog, let's just be honest, it was a puppy, it was 14 months old.
She says that this dog attacked chickens like a trained assassin. That's what she said.
But then she goes on after she killed the dog. She took, she took the dog to a gravel pit. She shot the dog, not even like she put the dog down with a vet.
I hated that dog, Noam recalls calling Cricket less than worthless as a hunting dog, untrainable and dangerous to anyone she came in contact with. At that moment, I realized I had to put her down.
And I think this is important to talk about because the book's called No Going Back. The truth on what's wrong with politics.
Kristi Noem's book was discussed, and it was mentioned that it seemed to have negatively impacted her political career, specifically related to false claims made within it about meeting Kim Jong-un.
I'm not sure I have ever seen a politician write a book, make a voluntary choice to write a book and just light her entire political career on fire to the extent that she's finished.
It started with this bragging about shooting a dog, which many people are super fired up about. It now has turned into a more serious story, I think, in terms of the politics, where she wrote in the book that she met North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and was willing to kind of stand up to him, but it turns out she never met him.
So did Kristi Noem never read her own biography?
And this is what's going on, everyone. I mean, when you hear it, I think you need to hear the soundbite to understand why.
It's also frustrating because it plays into I don't like it when someone on the right does something that takes what the left always says about us and says, see, there you go. They're just frauds. They're just pretending to believe things to tell people in rural America that they don't really believe.
It was discussed that Kristi Noem's book had been a detriment to her political future, with many believing that she had damaged her chances of being the Republican nominee in 2024.
We talked about Kristi Noem and like the own goal that I think her book has been for her.
Governor of South Dakota that used to have a political future in national politics and now we did get some calls that think she does. That this is fine. Don't blow it out of proportion.
There are some diehards to me if you're this dumb your odds of making your way through a competitive Republican primary speaking of Kristi Noem any of the callers, but yes, are low because you are gonna have a lot of super bright people that are running for president in 28 and I think she's killed her chances of being the nominee in 24.
I think that Mario you may have been a little taken in by Miss Noem by the batting of the eyelashes by the uh the whole oh I'm like the good old American, uh, you know rodeo success or a ranch success story.
And you know some of the stuff has come out and it is likely she will not be VP now and I can understand there is disappointment there but it is incumbent upon us to be honest with everybody before somebody's in a VP role in a critical election that can determine the future of the country that we not have someone who will be annihilated by the Democrats and cause us to lose the election, right?
Kristi Noem's book, 'No Going Back', was mentioned as containing a story about her shooting her hunting dog, Cricket, after it killed some chickens, and this story was discussed at length on the show.
I can understand why some people are upset about a 20-year-old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch, in my up-and-coming book, 'No Going Back'.
Like you notice the book plug, the book is filled with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, painful decisions, and lessons learned.
Kamala Harris in the White House
The book, Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris in the White House, discussed how Kamala Harris was not necessarily prepared to be on the national stage and was pulled out of the Biden administration after a failed presidential campaign.

Why Today's Democrats Ain't Your Daddy's Donkeys
Joe Concha's book, "Progressively Worse," was highly promoted across multiple episodes, with the author appearing as a guest to discuss its central argument. Concha contended that the Democratic Party has radically transformed, shifting far left from the era of JFK and Bill Clinton, whose policies—such as tax cuts and meritocracy—would be considered conservative today. The book specifically critiques the modern party as a radical force of elites whose platforms, including proposed tax hikes and anti-fracking stances, demonstrate a radical departure from their predecessors.
Joe Concha discussed his newly released book "Progressively Worse: Why Today's Democrats Ain't Your Daddy's Donkeys." He spoke about how Kamala Harris's policy positions were extreme and how the Democratic party is now a radical party of elites.
Progressively Worse: Why Today's Democrats Ain't Your Daddy's Donkeys.
Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
The book is about why today's Democrats are not like the Democrats of the past. The book's author believes that the Democratic party has become radical and is now a party of the elites. This book is compared to Trump's political commentary.
Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
The book is Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys. I have one quick one for you, Joe, before we let you go. And I'm not I'm not trying to get you any hate email with this one.
The book discusses the radical transformation of the Democratic Party, focusing on the policies of Kamala Harris and how they would negatively impact workers and unions.
And I love this. It's like Progressively Worse. Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys.
And in my book, I just go through the radical transition that this party has made.
And now you see what their nominee supports, Tudor, as far as you want to ban fracking. If you live in Pennsylvania, you're probably not very happy about that. Right? Or Michigan, for that matter.
And I think that's another part of the book, Progressively Worse, Tudor, that is really important to discuss.
And the book talks a lot about that, how reality reality bites at this point, because the rhetoric got us to this place in the first place.
It was discussed how the Democratic Party has shifted further left over time, with examples of past Democratic presidents like JFK and Bill Clinton whose policies would be considered conservative today.
So, Progressively Worse, Why Today's Democrats Ain't Your Daddy's Donkeys.
I look at like John F. Kennedy... Kennedy was he pulled higher than any president in polling history, right? He was he averaged 70% approval.
The truth is he would now be called an extreme Maga Republican because... Seriously 1961 he takes office. He inherits a recession. So what does he do? He doesn't do what Kamala Harris is doing now, which is to propose $5 trillion in tax hikes. He cut taxes as aggressively as any president had in our history and we ended up getting something like 7% GDP growth just a couple of years later.
He didn't believe in racial quotas. He believed in a merit-based system and any Democrat that would utter that today, you know, the party of equity would be cast out.
But then Bill Clinton's presidency, Carol, that was the one that really you go back and look at it. The first thing you think of is the blue dress of Monica... But up until that point, I'll, I readily admit this. 1996 I voted for the guy because wow, he governed like a Republican.
Why So Many Predictions Fail-But Some Don't

Combined Parts 1-3
Alex Berenson’s work, Unreported Truths, was frequently highlighted by Clay Travis and Buck Sexton as essential reading for understanding the true nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts consistently recommended the book and Berenson’s related Substack platform for his critical perspective on lockdowns, "Fauciism," and the need for accountability regarding the virus's origins and subsequent government lies.

But this is on your sub stack on Reported Truths, which I recommend people subscribe to. You're seeing this is a big, big problem.
And I wrote this thing, by the way, and my supporters tend to be more conservative than I am. And actually, a lot of them didn't like what I wrote because here's what I wrote.

I wrote about in Unreported Truths less than two weeks ago on a story that got a fair bit of attention.
I need to my feeling is let's at least try to get some accountability for the fact that the people who knew the most about this almost certainly lied about it in 2020.
Everyone should go check out Alex Berenson, unreported truths.

Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free
Author Pete Hegseth joined Clay Travis and Buck Sexton across multiple episodes to discuss his book, The War on Warriors, sounding an alarm about the state of the U.S. military. He argued extensively that political ideologies have captured the Pentagon, leading to lowered standards, less capable ranks, and the betrayal of meritocracy. Hegseth contended that this shift is actively undermining the warrior ethos and must be reversed to ensure the military remains capable and lethal.
It was discussed at length, focusing on the issues within the military and how political ideologies have impacted leadership and standards, ultimately leading to a less capable fighting force.
Well, folks need to know that without a capable military, we're not free.
And I joined and served in military that I love that was lethal, that was based on meritocracy, that existed for 20 years to try as best it could to defeat extremism. And now that very same military is identifying people like me, and I tell that specific story in the book, as extremists.
So it's not a good story, book. And it's something that's not just the military, it's the CIA, it's other institutions are facing this too.
The book is The War on Warriors. It's just out now.
The book right of passage is The War on Warriors.

So political ideologies have captured the top of our Pentagon and that's proliferated throughout the institution and it's made our ranks less accountable. It's lowered the standards, they're less prepared, commanders are walking on eggshells, and as a result, they're less capable.
And so it's not a good story, Buck, and it's something that's not just the military, it's the CIA, it's other institutions are facing this too, but it's something that can be reversed. And I wanted to sound the alarm on it now in the hopes that we can right the ship.

Our diversity is our strength. What a bunch of crap. Like especially in uniform, our unity is our strength. We all get the same training, wear camouflage and get bad haircuts.
When an order goes out that things are going to change, it usually gets followed and then you have to follow up on it. But it can change more quickly than most institutions.
